My name is Carol. I am from Spain. I have been teaching English and Spanish classes to children, teenagers and adults in Madrid for more than ten years at language schools and at private classes. My current accredited English level is C2 of Cambridge (CPE). I have successfully prepared students for the following official tests and exams: Cambridge (PET, FCE, CAE), TOEFL, TOEIC.
I teach my classes in the language that the student wishes to learn, making use of interactive resources to get the most out of it and bring dynamism and richness to the learning process.
These are fully customized classes. In the first contact, I assess the level of my students, also getting an idea of what their interests are (music, books, movies...). Didactically exploiting these interests is very important to establish a direct connection with the real world. An activity book is no longer enough, although a strong grammar and vocabulary basis is necessary, and you will find that in my classes as well. What I seek is to go a step further and give the student tools to interact with an increasingly interconnected environment. Of course, these tools will help you to achieve satisfactory academic results as well.
For me, it is essential that the student feels comfortable so that he/she can see language learning as a tool to achieve the objectives that are proposed and not as an enemy or as something that must be assimilated by simple obligation.
My method could be summarized in setting concrete objectives, dynamic development of the class based on the abilities and interests of my student, exploitation of interactive resources to establish contact with the real world and search for effectiveness.
